Summary
The Carnegie Public Library, erected in 1915-16, is a simplified example of the Jacobethan Revival style. Designed by local architect Moses N. Bair, the building is unique among libraries in the state due to its ell-shaped plan and Jacobethan detailing. Other libraries in Nebraska follow the rectangular plan and Neo-Classical Revival detailing established by the Carnegie Corporation.
